I'm passionate - both at work and play - but when you get to know me and I open up I'm very relaxed, affectionate, and frisky.

Staying physically fit is very important to me and I love hiking, playing soccer, skiing, and rowing.

I'm quite sexual and I love to flirt - but my self-worth comes from my honesty and fidelity, both of which I take extremely seriously.

I love to travel and I've lived in South Africa and New Zealand.

What I’m doing with my life

I'm a PhD student studying organizational psychology - no, I don't psychoanalyze your organizational skills - I study humanitarian aid and development organizations. My life's mission is to help reform the aid and development industry so it works its way into oblivion by empowering the people it is meant to help - instead of perpetuating dependency and making Westerners feel better about themselves. With that said, I really don't take myself very seriously most of the time.

I’m really good at

I served in the Peace Corps - so I can start every sentence with "In the Peace Corps..." and I can tell you about the ins and outs of various water-born diseases (pun intended).

The first things people usually notice about me

I don't have much of a soul (I'm a trans-ginger daywalker).

The most private thing I’m willing to admit

I don't have a uvula - got mine cut out. Yeah. That's right, the dangly thing in the back of your throat. Don't got one.
